There's a lot of truth in what you say.
But - what do we do about it?
In the past I worked for another organisation which although not linked to a local authority had similar access to pay, pensions, IT etc through university connections. But decisions made at management level meant that not all staff were given pensions, training, etc and IT developement was non-existant.
If there is no vision at the upper levels or a willingness to fund development work internally - it doesn't matter how big/small a unit is or what connections/advantages it may have through historical settings - it will always be trying to play catch or calling foul on it's competitors.
